Calvin cycle ⟶ PGA
C.
Hatch and Slack cycle ⟶ OAA
D.
C4 - Kranz anatomy

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
A. C3 plants include some of the most important sources of calories all over the world: cowpea, cassava, soybean and rice. Grasses, such as maize, sorghum and sugarcane, are widely cultivated in modern agriculture are C4 plants.
B. Calvin cycle ⟶ PGA. Phosphoglyceric acid, PGA is the conjugate acid of 3-phosphoglycerate or glycerate 3-phosphate. This glycerate is a biochemically significant metabolic intermediate in both glycolysis and the Calvin-Benson cycle.
C. Hatch and Slack cycle ⟶ OAA. The Hatch and Slack pathways are also known as the C4 pathway because the first stable product of this pathway is 4-C carbon compound OAA (Oxaloacetate ).
D. C4 - Kranz anatomy. The C4 biochemical pathway relies on a specific suite of leaf functional properties, often referred to as Kranz anatomy.
